YEP Community Outreach
Community service is a commitment of YEP's founder, Board of Directors, Staff, and Volunteers. In keeping with our philosophy, "Education through Every Experience", our Board of Directors volunteer their time to assist in creating high-quality early learning programs, job opportunities for teens, mentoring programs, coat, food and toy drives, health awareness, training and much more.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
YEP invites you to an elegant evening at A Night in Black & White, our annual fundraising event. In 2026, celebrating our 4th year & we are excited to continue this mission with our “Youth Enrichment Programs Presents "Style My Dorm, A Night of Black & White Experience", scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2026. This event will raise financial resources needed to support students heading to college for the 2026–2027 academic year—helping them settle into spaces that foster focus, creativity, and belonging. Proceeds will benefit STYLE MY DORM, a signature YEP initiative transforming student dorms into spaces of comfort, confidence, and community.
